The governor is wrong. Its ok for 200 info babes to stand on the beac yapping, but a couple guys cant go surfing. Please
Sorry, my FRiend, but I can’t agree with your assessmnent. There is no doubt in my mind that some of La took care of their own. But there is still a very large population of displaced Katrina refugees (how many years ago?) living in Texas.
I do think La and Miss and Tx can be compared..do you not believe every state affected by Katrina did not have disaster?
The people in New Orleans didn’t evacuate. The leadership in the state was weak. The media had a field day.
BTW, we didn't do so hot on getting closed primaries, did we? But at least the subject came up. Maybe next time.
Katrina was a media created disaster. Not the norm for this country at all.
LOL...swallowed all the ammo too. Really.
During a disaster why carry concealed? I’d have the .45 on my leg, and the AR15 or 12 gauge on my shoulder.
another grim reminder of the potential of a storm to cause civil unrest.Hey NUMBNUTZ goobermint, that's WHY you need CCW and all your weapons - CIVIL UNREST!
friggen pencil neck geeks.
Here’s what I found. Section 23-31-520 states that local authorities can’t infringe on the state’s power to regulate firearms, etc with one exception. Local authorities can regulate “public brandishment” of firearms during civil unrest, riots and natural disasters. Need to look up what is defined as public brandishment.
They cannot confiscate firearms or weapons unless pursuant to an arrest.
Nobody in elected office wants to be Bushed over this hurricane. You see no difference in yapping on the beach and surfing hurricane waves? NOT that I am in favor of beach yappers.
“Governments love disasters as excuses to gain power!”
I’d like some of that federal disaster relief money too.
No...Gypsy the Portuguese Podengo is the foreign object swallower.
She got all the ammo.
We’re very careful to keep her away from open flames, now.
[Fido fireworks!]
Is open carry legal in NC?
The only reference to brandishing is in 16-23-420 and has to do with public buildings.
Actually, no, it's a good case to REPEAL CCW permits and decriminalize all forms of carry of defensive arms. This is what you get when you put your fundamental human and civil rights at the mercy of governments, they get to revoke those fundamental rights at a whim.
The day after Kristallnacht a bureaucrat of the Reich enacted "Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons" with a basis in law that had existed for many years. We all know the outcome of that.
This is how FR is deconstructing itself with these idiots who post lies and liberal baiting as fact.
I always admired FReepers for their intelligence and ability to use FACTS, not emotions when posting.
Unfortunately, there is little intelligence here anymore and a great deal of EMOTION. This is proven by it taking 46 posts before someone posted the TRUTH.
But this thread will continue along this FALSE premise, just like the "NRA endorsed Reid" and "Boehner called Tea Party....." stories that were started by liberal publications, with no supporting facts (both stories were false) but FReepers lapped up this ejaculate bait happily.
The guys who took the TVs off the shelves (out of case) weren't all that smart. Ever wonder where WalMart sells their store display models? Hmm!
All good things come to those who wait.
It wouldn't bother me in the least if there were later stories of "looters shot on sight". It would surprise me, though.
There were a lot of “stories”. Remember the “rape gangs”? Didn’t happen. No one shot at helicopters.
The problem is - the law is on the books.
Do 100% of the LEOs on duty know of the exception? No! Is it briefed to all the LEOs coming on duty? No!
So if a person doing CCW or someone just transporting a shotgun in the trunk is stopped by an LEO who is not informed the situation will be escalated. Who “wins”? The Cop wins.
The law needs to be removed - period.
Sure.
That way instead of demanding your wallet, they come up behind you, bash your head in with a bat, and then take your wallet and your gun too.
Forewarned is forearmed. Why would you want to forewarn a criminal?
